Blackmailed - The mysterious photo ( French Cours privé , German alternative title Das vergeschnisvolle Foto ) is a French erotic drama from 1986.
action
Jeanne Kern is a young, attractive teacher. One day, its director Bruno Ketti shows anonymously sent photos of a lesbian orgy in which schoolgirls of their level seem to have participated - and in which a woman whose face is cut out but looks very similar to her plays the leading role. Jeanne denies all allegations and finds support in her teacher colleague Laurent. The more compromising photos arrive at Ketti, the more Jeanne is the target of defamation.
The amorous director tries to blackmail her affection, but Laurent and the student Zanon succumb to Jeanne's attraction as well. It turns out that Jeanne's lover Zanon shot and sent the photos, and all allegations against the femme fatale Jeanne are true. She mocks the shocked Laurent as a philistine and in the end makes Ketti so submissive that he signs a brilliant job reference for her to be transferred to the next school and then kills himself.
background
In Germany, the film is only approved with FSK 16 due to sex and nude scenes.
The film drew 572,000 viewers in France.
criticism
"The matter soon becomes too transparent for a really exciting thriller, the promised" eroticism "is limited, the" criticism of uptight philistines "remains banal."
"For the most part tension-free, aimed entirely at the final point, which can neither credibly deepen characters nor social environment, but gets stuck in voyeuristic and mannerist attitudes."
